“The strike zone picked a side, and wasn't shy about it.”
What this shows — how Tyler Jones called the 148 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 136 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

Run impact from the count run-value table: a missed strike three is worth far more than one on 3-0.
ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System
4 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Dalton Rushing — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Mookie Betts — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
